zHOMG

I started the next series of Doctor Who, where we get to meet the Eleventh Doctor. I was ready for it - I was ready for a new face, new companions and new story lines. I started last night and I’m up “The Pandorica Opens” which for me is pretty impressive. 

Things I’ve noticed about this new series: Eleven reminds me a lot of Nine. He has that same … disrespect? for humans. He was born out of the hurt and lust of Ten and it’s just safer not to get too attached. He was born from different blood, different battles. 

Where Ten was more human, Eleven seems to want to leave that behind. It hurt to be more human, to fall in love and loose all of that again, just like he lost his people. To have a best friend that is and always will be a part of him, quite literally and bam! he has to take it away from her. To have someone willingly leave you because they can’t take loving you anymore. God, it hurts. And I can see why Eleven stays far away from it. 

I do thoroughly enjoy Eleven and I do love the way he is portrayed by Matt Smith, even if his surprisingly manly voice freaks me out a bit. I do miss David’s warble. 

Now, onto the beloved companions. 

… I don’t understand the hate for Amy. I fucking love her. Do I love her as much as I love Rose or Donna? Not yet, but I suspect that it will happen. She’s a feisty red head - who doesn’t love those? She’s a ginger like my Donna, which means that of course she’s gonna give the Doctor some shit and yet, she’s starry eyed and pulled in by the romance of time/space travel like Rose. 

She’s a mix of my two favourite companions. Nay, characters so far from the Whoverse. And I love listening to Karen Gillan talk, she’s got a voice on her. 

And thus, I don’t understand that hate for her. She’s pretty intense about things sure - but the way Eleven acts she has to be and I understand that sometimes she  leaves Rory behind and it’s not nice. But I will let people in on a secret, even at our most loving, we are selfish. And that’s all she is at that moment and Rory forgives her. 

I fucking love Rory. Knew I would from the first time I saw his face on Tumblr. He is everything I think that a girl would love: he’s loyal, he seems really funny and forgives flaws. He doesn’t ask Amy to change, he just asks that he be there with her. He balances out Amy pretty well and is a good anchor for the Doctor, even if Eleven acts like he doesn’t like him, he needs Rory. 

Not to mention, that he is pretty good looking. I don’t know why, I think it’s the nose. 

And River. I loved River since “Silence in the Library” and I fall for her more each time I see her. I want everyone to know that I love Rose, LOVE ROSE but I’m okay with River and the Doctor. Because eventually, everyone has to let go and I couldn’t think of someone better than River to take up arms for Rose and take care of her Doctor. 

See, I love this new series. I love the characters and I love the story lines. I love the way the show is written this time around - it tugs at my heartstrings, but it doesn’t rip them out. I love the characters but I don’t feel as if my dog has been shot in front of me and then eaten by a rabid human when something happens to them. 

Except for maybe Craig. I won’t lie. I love the man. I love him more than I thought I would and I can’t wait to see him again. I think he ranks up there with Rose and Donna. No, I am sure that he ranks up there with Rose and Donna.

There, I said. I love Craig. And I will weep if anything happens to him. And Sophie. 

I love this show. And like I said, I don’t understand the hate. It’s too amazing to hate. It’s like loving a baby rapist. No one loves baby rapists. Therefore, no one should hate anything/anyone in the Whoverse. … Oh well, I just thought I would let everyone know that I am on board with Eleven. Didn’t think I ever would be, but even I can be proved wrong. Sometimes. Once a decade. Every twenty years or so. Maybe only I can prove myself wrong. 

Off to finish the series and wait patiently with the rest of y’all.

right there at “The End of Time” and I have to say, I’m ready to usher in a new Doctor. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ten. Love him, not more than Nine, but it’s a love all the same. 

But, I’m pretty pissed at him. I’m at the fact that he left Rose with a half-version of himself. I’m pissed that he destroyed the Donna we all know and love, and I am pissed at the lines that he says at the end of “The Next Doctor”. 

The only person who left him, was Martha, and that’s because she knew that he would break her heart. No one else left him. He left them, crying on a fucking beach. No one forgot him, he took those memories away. And broke his hearts? No, that bastard did it to himself. 

So, I watched “The Planet of the Dead” and I was upset the whole episode. I couldn’t believe that he wasn’t going to take Christina with him, but I understood it. But he so needed her. Needs someone. 

And then, “The Waters of Mars” - who the hell did he think he is? Attempting to “fix” history or rather the future history of the world? This is why the man can’t be left alone - he has too much in his head, in hearts. He needs someone to tell him that it’s okay to let it happen. 

I was glad when Adelaide proved him wrong. Yes, it was sad that she killed herself, but it wouldn’t have happened that way if the Doctor hadn’t have saved her from her death. He said it himself, “it was a fixed point in time.”

Her parting words to him, her telling him off, he needed that. He needed to know that he was spiraling out of control and that this was it. He knows he is about to die, about to change again and he can’t stop it and he wants nothing more than to stop it, so he starts trying to save others because he can’t save himself.

And it fucking pisses me off. I’m ready, I’m ready for a new beginning. Maybe if he said something different to Jackson at the end “The Next Doctor” I wouldn’t be so upset, but I am. 

And I’m ready.

I’m fairly sure that Doctor Who is Latin for “Saddest mother fucking shit, ever, mother fucker.” Or, I’m just never emotionally ready to watch an episode. 

… I should’ve known better than to watch “Journey’s End” but I’m really excited to watch the next series (even though I now have to watch the specials and cry over that shit) and the only through is up.

I can’t decide if I am more upset over the Doctor giving up Rose or giving away Donna. I think in this moment, I love Donna more than anyone in that show right. I’ll be dead by morning on the inside over this.

I’m gonna go weep myself to sleep.

but instead I am surfing the Doctor Who tag and more importantly, the Rose x Ten tag. And I am amazed at the amount of … loathing, shall I say since I think that hate is too intense of a word, for the rose/ten or rose/nine pairing. It kind of just blows me away. 

I’m all for peoples’ opinions of the matter - it’s cool to like what you like and dislike what you don’t like, but is it really necessary to dislike the people who ship as well? Can’t we all just get along - at least when it comes to the fact that we love the fandom? Aren’t we on the same team?

Maybe it’s late and I’m confused. I don’t know - I’m not saying that people can’t or shouldn’t dislike certain shippers, I am just thinking it would be … nice? hopeful? if maybe we could just be united in this fantastic fandom. 

Really, it’s the kind of fandom where literally anything can happen. It’s really awesome, I’m just not seeing the reason for the hate of the shippers or other fans. But like I said, it’s late. (And maybe I wanted to rail a bit about it.)

… Yeah. I should go back to writing.
